Summary: Several big law firms are moving into bigger and newer offices or re-signing their leases, showing that Dallas is a strong place for law firms to be established.
Barnes & Thornburg LLP is making their Dallas move more permanent by signing a lease for a 12,200 square foot Uptown office space on McKinney Avenue. After 20 months, they can choose to renew and expand into more office space. The landlords are Summit Midstream Partners and MetLife.
